Now that appears to me, to be one incredibly huge american-bad-ass penis contorting those jeans!

There's nothing weird about me noticing that.. is there? right? guys?

All I know is that MC Hammer is Guiles personal shopper

DS HW from dengeki :

the main body of DS is again in the state of the shortage of stock, and this week's number of sales gets depressed greatly with 37,000 of 70.0% decrease compared with last week in a hard market.

so it's 37,000 DS

Easter break is likely back. What season should we give DS Lite?

 

[cvxfreak]

Chinese New Year NFTW

 

[Cheebs]

DS Lite is Passover.

 

[jamesinclair]

#27. Mother 1 + 2 (GBA)


Wow.


DS shortage again? PSP outsells it? I cant think of any holidays to explain this....

 

[polg]

Chinese New Year NFTW

that's the only true reason...

 

[A Link to the Past]

M1+2 had a rerelease, IIRC.

If the PSP outsells it this week, it's due to the Chinese New Year, which started January 29th.

 

[Hurricane_Chris]

It seems Mother 3 news affected sales of Mother 1 + 2 and bring it back to the top 30.
p.s. cvxfreak please check your pm inbox.

Mother 1+2 had a "Value Series" re-release. So price is cheaper and news of Mother3 may push sales for a bit.

the DS shortage is still in full swing

 

[Fishie flop oog]

A first one as well for Nintendo, shortags that are NOT manufactured.

LOL ... riiiiiight. The only way the PSP can outsell the DS in Japan would be due to massive DS shortages.

DS Lite is going to be an absolute monster. Last Easter is going to seem like an apetizer by comparision.

 

[Walter Matthau]

Bingo!

 

[Yamauchi]

English Training sold over 100k. Wow.

Ex-fucking-actly!

 

[Koomaster]

A re-release, are you serious?! And no love for NA, ever? *cries*

 

[Jonnyram]

Is it any good?

It's alright. I guess it would be more fun if all your family has DSs and you sit around at Christmas playing it or something, but it's not the type of thing my gamer friends play, thanks to other multiplayer games being more entertaining, generally.

It's a pretty good way to learn lots of obscure Japanese card games too

 

[cvxfreak]

Man.

 

[apotema]

Is eyeshield 21, considered a flop or a hit???

I mean, it is published by Nintendo and sold the same as Bleach DS

Anyway, next week no strong releases, and the next week: Monster Hunter 2........ then next week a crapload of PSP games and Baten Kaitos 2

We want HW so we can start seeing easter pics

 

[cvxfreak]

Wonder how BKII will do.

 

[Dalthien]

Is eyeshield 21, considered a flop or a hit???

Well, the PS2 Eyeshield 21 game (published by Konami) only sold 12,000 in its first week, and that was during Christmas week.

12,418 Eyeshield 21: AmeFoot Yarouze! Ya! Ha! (Konami) (12/22/05) - through Dec 25/05

So, the DS version (36,811) tripled the PS2 first week sales, and it did that during a much slower sales period as well - so I would say that the DS sales for Eyeshield 21 are pretty impressive.

I really don't know anything about this game though, and I'm not sure if this and the PS2 version are completely different styles of games or not. They are both listed as action games though, and they were both published by top-tier publishers.

Maybe someone else knows more about the merits of each of these two titles, but it seems like strong sales for the DS version, at least based upon the PS2 sales for this property.

 

[elostyle]

36k is very good for a handheld title in it's first week.

 

[Leonsito]

I think that 37k DS's > PSP numbers this week

 

[Link]

Kingdom Hearts II is going down

yeah, it's like it reached 1 mil and then it started selling like one or two copies afterwards

RPGs - especially from Square-Enix - are extremely front-loaded in Japan, so that's expected.

 

[Fuzzy]

I think that 37k DS's > PSP numbers this week

I think that Dengeki's HW numbers are never close to MC's numbers.

BTW the DS only needs 36,789 this week to reach 6 million in Japan.

 

[I <3 Katamari]

And didn't it already sell more than the original there?

 

[Oblivion]

How the fuck could Nintendo have shortages ALREADY when they only sold 100k last week, and also said they restocked by the end of January?

 

[Link]

They probably ramped down production quite a bit to manufacture the DS Lite.

EDIT - Or that \/

Chinese New Year = factories/shipments shut down?

 

[Oblivion]

Zuh? You mean only for this week?

 

[Fuzzy]

Zuh? You mean only for this week?

Chinese New Year is a 15 day event that started January 29th.

 

[Oblivion]

Chinese New Year is a 15 day event.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I didn't know. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[Fuzzy]

Ah, I see. Sorry, I didn't know. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't know for how long things shut down there, just that the celebrations last 15 days.

[Markster]

If the PSP outsells the DS, then I think it's time for some Monty Python laughter from those two.

 

[DefectiveReject]

the psp would have to have had a sales spike to outsell the DS this week.
so i doubt that very much

 

[Smiles and Cries]

PSP has to outsell it this week, come on they can sell 40,000

















*quietly laughing*

 

[Furoba]

DS.Lite could be a monster if it were stocked properly...

It will be stocked properly.

[norinrad21]

Okay so what am hearing in the streets is that Sonys bastard child could possible gain some momentum because of easter shortages and chinese sweat shop workers on strike but things should be back to normal with DS Lite on the way, the absolute nail in Sony's already defeated empire.......to think they could just come in riding the PS2 dick was their biggest mistake ever ne?

Its funny how people note that companys ride at the top of the food chain normally lasts 2 generations before they do something stupid and arrogant as they feel they are on top and can do no wrong?
Sega
Nintendo
Atari.
Was the PSP Sony’s step to far?
Is the PS3 too much for a gaming console?
Does the Revolution take everything back to where it started?
Will I ever retrieve the key to atlantis.?
Tune in next week folks to find out!

*WoW* These DS software sales just continue to amaze me!
